Does anyone know anything about Venom's performance module? I like the fact that it has a very simplistic hook up (only a few wires), because I would like to preserve the factory warranty. But I'm interested to know if it will provide similar gains as other piggy back style ECUs. Any suggestions for anything similar?

 

I raced a guy with an accord(He was pissing me off) who had one. He said he could feel the difference, but he was still slow as hell. Personally I'd get a VAFC and a new ECU program.

Please correct me if I am wrong but .. I was under the impression that 5G preludes can't have their ECU reprogrammed. Is that true? I would love to do it. But I can't swap out to OBDI untill I am out of CA

 

All it does is trick your car into believing your pressing down throttle more than you really are. At WOT there are no HP gains, none.

 

Well, I just bought the car in October and since then I've installed an AEM cold air and a Thermal Research and development exhaust. Reprogramming the ECU even if possible would be out of the question because, I don't want to void the warranty for a 10 hp gain. Is the VAFC another piggyback style module? Would I be able to install it out without any major permanent modifications should I actually need to have something repaired? Any other sugestions for things that I could do to my car and keep the warranty? Im thinking an nos system run through the intake wouldn't be hard to disguise since i could just reinstall the factory intake.

 

Yeah a VAFC is a piggy back system.

 

And it does what?

 

It allows you to change the VTEC engagement point and your Air/fuel ratios. Also it has a built in tach and some basic digital gauges.

 

Who makes it?

 

Apex'i

 

And if you can tune it properly you can gain some hp. Go to the Dyno and see it for youself.
